Pancake day is coming. Bí Ullamh!

Pancake day is coming

Nothing cheers the heart quite like Pancake Tuesday. Falling on March 5th this year, this moveable feast is an event that has been celebrated for centuries and holds nostalgic memories for all. So much so, that this week we are getting the pan out early. As the best scouts say, Bí Ullamh and hey… we all need a mid-winter treat and what could be nicer than pancakes!

We will have our instore batter, a firm favourite with customers every year, allowing those short on time a convenient way to have pancakes a plenty. This year we also decided to develop a buckwheat batter. A rich source of protein, fibre, B vitamins and minerals with an especially high content of niacin, magnesium and phosphorus, buckwheat flour is also gluten free. Using buckwheat flour, eggs, almond milk, chia seed, flax seed, cinnamon, vanilla and Highbank Orchard Syrup, these are a delicious alternative to your regular pancake. Perfect with a sweet condiment or experiment with some avocado and salad or veg and a sprinkle of Mezze Peanut Dukkah or a dash of White Mausu Peanut Rayu…Deelicious!!

So pop in to store on Thursday from 2 for a taste, a chat and maybe a flip.

Whitfield Honey is the continuation of a family beekeeping tradition. Owner Conor spent years studying and learning the art and the craft of managing bees from his grandfather. Conor then ventured to Australia to understand how a fulltime beekeeping operation would work before returning home to continue the family tradition.

Whitfield Honey is produced from the wildflowers of Butlerstown and its surrounding areas. The local flowers provide Whitfield Honey with its unique floral taste and distinct fruity undertones. In addition to its wonderful taste, Whitfield Honey has many positive health benefits which it makes it a must for everyone’s shopping basket!

Marries well with all egg dishes, poached, fried or scrambled. With a big crusty bit of bread and some crunchy kale perhaps?

Chia seeds, native to Mexico and Central America, are the tiny seed of the Salvia Hispanic plant, a member of the mint family. In addition to being a wonderful source of Omega-3 fatty acids, chia is high in fibre, is 22% protein by weight, and is a great source of iron and calcium. Chia may control food cravings and may help regulate insulin levels. It also works well as a natural thickener in egg-free baking.

How to use: Add a few dessert spoons of chia seeds to other foods as a topping or as a healthy ingredient in homemade smoothies, breakfast cereals, granola or bread.
